a million words in one pose

You always see those pictures on the internet or in your grandparents year books, or in your own baby book, or maybe even one that you took of a still moment in your life. When I see these pictures I wonder how long the pose was kept. If someone walked in would they stop posing this way? Or would they make even more of the pose? I will never know unless I was there.

I look at these and I laugh a little inside because I know I've had these moments. Where you wait for the camera to actually capture that certain moment in time. It's quite funny actually. I feel awkward when I have to wait to hear the click. It makes me regret taking the picture. Sometimes I wish people took pictures without anyone knowing so that the picture has more of a real sense to it. Something real about it will make it more intriguing. Who knows? Maybe someone's taking a picture of you reading this. (In a non-creepy way of course) And maybe they'll see the reality of it all.
